Pros:
- Excellent image quality; 4K resolution is top notch
- Pin-point accurate motion with no judders
- Sleek design and amazing sound via 2.2 channel speakers
Cons:
- Smart TV functionality isn't extremely fleshed out
- Viewing angles are simply good at 89 degrees
Verdict:
It's extremely telling about a 4K TV when you need to really dig around for negatives and high price isn't one of them. The Sony Bravia KD-55X9000B delivers a stellar viewing experience even if it comes across as slightly more expensive than other alternatives. A sleek design, Internet capability and 3D support only make the display that much more satisfying.
Review:
Sony is no stranger to expensive 4K TVs and has shown itself to be a market leader in creating them. The Sony Bravia KD-55X9000B is one such creation and boasts some rather impressive specs for its price. Whether or not it warrants the Rs. 2,99,900 that Sony is asking remains to be seen. At least the design, with its sleek wedge-based format and dual 2.2 channel speakers looks incredible.
The Sony Bravia KD-55X9000B features a 55 inch LED panel with a display resolution of 3840x2160. To put this into perspective, that's 80.1 pixels per inch and results in the sharpest display possible. Of course, this isn't what makes Sony's 4K TVs unique. The Sony Bravia KD-55X9000B also includes an X-Reality Pro video processing engine along TRILUMINOS technology. Combined together, this creates video with incredible motion and vibrant colour, regardless of the source.
Viewing angles are fairly decent though nothing exceptional at 89 degrees in both planes. A total of 4 HDMI slots along with 3 USB ports, an Ethernet jack, etc. make up the display's slots. There's plenty of 3D functionality with a comb filter and simulated 3D supported (though this is only for 2K video). Two pairs of 3D glasses are also bundled for viewing.
Along with brilliant picture quality, brightness and movement, the Sony Bravia KD-55X9000B includes Wi-Fi and some slight Smart TV functionality. You can access apps like Skype and Twitter while also sharing photos, mirroring the display on your mobile device to the TV and much more. There isn't an entire app ecosystem devoted to the TV but it doesn't require it for the most part. Unless you want app support on the level of Android, you'll be content with viewing Internet video with ease.
Other recommendations:
Samsung has been making an impressive set of Ultra HD TVs such as the Samsung UA55HU8500. This 55 inch screen supports a 3840x2160 resolution and features an Ultra Clear Panel. Fanciful terms aside, the Samsung UA55HU8500 features smart TV functionality which means you can browse the web and take advantage of Samsung's Smart Hub to run apps. Face recognition, voice control and motion gestures are just a few of the other functions. Then there's the 3D support, picture-in-picture functionality and ConnectShare. The Samsung UA55HU8500 costs Rs. 2,29,900 depending on where you look.
The LG 55UC970T is another alternative. Measuring 55 inches and featuring a 3840x2160 resolution with LED backlighting, this Ultra HD display supports 4 HDMI slots, two USB 2.0 slots. Unlike many of its competitors, it's a curved display that features amazing viewing angles thanks to IPS technology. It also helps that LG's True 4K Engine provides for excellent video processing. Smart TV functionality and active 3D support are included, helping to round out what's a very appealing package at Rs. 1,99,904. Again, that price tag depends on where you look.
